A patient-expert walks those newly
diagnosed with lupus through everything they need to
learn and do during their first year with the condition
Lupus
affects
an estimated 1.5 million people in the U.S., but because of the
diversity of its symptoms and severity with which it can manifest, it
remains one of the most difficult conditions to identify and diagnose.
Since my diagnosis with lupus-related syndromes, I educated myself on
every aspect of my condition. Now, as a “patient-expert,” I guide those
newly diagnosed step-by-step through their first year with lupus.
Starting with the day of diagnosis, I will provide vital information on
a variety of subjects, including:
- Strategies for accomplishing necessary lifestyle changes
- Guidelines and tips for modifying your diet
- Choosing the right medical team
- Coping with overlapping syndromes
- Discussing your condition with family, friends, and co-workers
- Current medical research and medications
- Effective alternative therapies
- Support group resources

Special sections include: coping with chronic fatigue fibromyalgia systemic lupus Sjögren’s Syndrome Raynaud’s Syndrome the lupus mask sleep disorders lupus and pregnancy |

If you steal words from us, our family goes hungry. I'm not kidding. I earn my living by selling copies of my book, and even then my publisher makes oodles more money than I do from every copy sold. So go buy a book -- buy two, they're small. They make great gifts. Your mom wants one. Really.
